Linden Lab Chairman (and former CEO) Philip Rosedale has let the Second Life community know he’s scaling back his day-to-day involvement with Linden Lab’s operations to focus on both his Chairmanship and a new venture. Not surprisingly he’s coy about the new venture, so it’s a perfect juncture for some speculation and hyperbole.
Fire away: what do you think the new venture is likely to be?
I’ll start off with both a conservative and a radical suggestion:
1. Conservative: a new business-centric virtual environment spin-off is created, that in no way leverages off Second Life.
2. Radical: Philip becomes CEO of an oil company to transition it to a renewable energy startup.
Over to you!

This venture involves Mitch Kapor as well and involves surface and gesture based (through touch surfaces &/or cameras) virtual worlds navigation and operation.
